Chapter 36: The Hidden Sword
In the next few days, Yang Zixu and Chu Ge seemed to be busy. In this year's Lantern Festival examination, many people were selected to enter various universities in the Eastern Capital. Among them, Tiance Academy has ushered in many new faces. And Yang Zixu also entered the heavenly policy as he wished.
Entering Tiance Academy is not the same as entering Tiance. If you want to enter the Tiance Army, you have to go through screening. The first is its character, and the second is its ability. Only those who are qualified can enter the Tiance Army and become the backbone of it.
In this year's Tiance Academy, there are five people who are very conspicuous. Wearing a yellow-edged costume, or a long sword tied around his waist, or carrying a heavy sword on his back. About eighteen or nineteen years old.
Li Fu later inquired with Yang Zixu, and these five people were all from the Jingshui Ye family.
The Ye family is a great family that has existed since the previous dynasty, and its inheritance is longer than that of the Tang Dynasty. Tibetan Sword Ye Family, just ask the world's corporal clan, who doesn't know? Who doesn't know? Its wealth is rivaled by the richness of the country. Even when Taizong went on an expedition to the Northern Barbarians, he once asked the Ye family to borrow military salaries. In addition to the royal family, only the Ye family can wear yellow clothes in the Tang Dynasty. This is the grace that Taizong rewarded the Ye family back then.

Chu Ge and Yang Zixu don't have much time these days, and they don't know what they're busy with. Yang Ning has disappeared recently, but he asked Li Fu about Yang Zixu's whereabouts once, but where did Li Fu know. However, when Yang Ning left, his face was not good.
Li Fu was also happy to be idle, without a master by his side, he didn't even bother to do his usual homework. I didn't even bother to take the sword with me, I didn't know where to turn out a bamboo chair, and lay on the bamboo chair every day, holding a teapot in my hand, lazily enjoying the winter sun. It's so pleasant!
………………
"Good boy! I'm going crazy! You still have the mind to bask in the sun leisurely! ”
Yang Zixu's voice came from behind. I saw that he was sweating profusely, and his long hair looked a little messy, so he couldn't help but snatch the teapot in Li Fu's hand and greedily poured a big sip of tea.
Li Fu watched Yang Zixu's action of drinking water, and his brows furrowed. Then he turned his head and pretended not to see the spout of the teapot stained with a trace of Yang Zixu's saliva.
Li Fu had just brewed the tea not long ago, and Yang Zixu drank most of the pot. This made him feel a little distressed. When he came to Dongdu, he brought so much tea, according to Yang Zixu's drinking method, I am afraid it will not be enough for him for a month.
"Why do you have that expression? Isn't it just drinking half a pot of tea from you, it's so stingy! Pay you back! Yang Zixu said angrily.
"Who's stingy? Can't you just talk about hygiene? This is my pot! If you want to drink, you take your own pot and soak as much as you want. Look at your saliva, how do I still drink. Li Fu did not take the teapot, but lay on the bamboo chair with his eyes squinted slightly, and continued to enjoy the warm midday sun.
Yang Zi was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly thought of a solution.
I saw him take out a small brocade box from his bosom and put it on the chair handle.
"What is this?" Li Fu asked.
"You can open it yourself and see." Yang Zi was expressionless, turned around and walked to the room, and moved out a chair.
Li Fu opened the brocade box, and it was a beautifully carved jade. The lotus flower carved on it blooms vividly. The whole piece of jade was pale cyan, without a trace of variegation.
"Where did you come from?" Li Fu looked at the beautiful jade in the brocade box and was very surprised.
"Young Master Ben bought it for 200,000 taels. Well, not bad. Yang Zixu also followed Li Fu's example, lying on the chair. Not to mention, it's really cozy.
"Two hundred thousand taels! Where did you get so much money? Li Fu was puzzled.
"The master earned, only 200,000 taels, it's nothing." Yang Zixu tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Fu proudly.
Li Fu asked: "The bet that the Lantern Festival will try?" ”
"yes, I made a lot of money."
"How much did you earn?" Li Fu said curiously.
"It's not much, about seven million taels." Yang Zixu thought about it and replied.
"Seven million taels! You're going to close the three major casinos! Li Fu gasped and exclaimed.
"It's not enough to close the door, but one of them can't hold on. You still owe me more than 2 million taels and don't give it here. Yang Zixu said with a sneer.
"So, what have you been doing all these days?" Li compound on the brocade box and looked at Yang Zixu.
Yang Zixu's face turned red when he heard this, and he said slightly embarrassed: "Of course not!" How can a great husband do these things outside of his body? I have other things to do. ”
Li Fu looked at him, smiled slightly, and then said with a smile: "Brother Yang Ning has been looking for you for a while, did you promise him anything?" ”
"Nope! What did I promise him? I didn't promise him anything. Yang Zi said humbly.
When the yen was tested, Yang Ning and Yang Zixu reached an agreement. If Li Fu can win the first place in the martial arts test, Yang Zixu will share the profits from the bet to Yang Ning. However, now it seems that Yang Zixu has not fulfilled it. I guess I can't bear to spend so much money for a while. After all, you got rich overnight, so why do you have to cover it in your pocket for a few days.
"Beware of Brother Yang Ning beating you, he came to you a few days ago." Li Fu said meaningfully.
"No, don't worry, if he dares to beat me, I will go to Emperor Wuhou and tell Emperor Wuhou that Brother Yang Ning admits defeat because of money." Yang Zixu said proudly, but no matter how Li Fu looked at it, he felt that his expression was a bit cheap...... No, it's not a little cheap, it's very cheap!
Li Fu suddenly asked, "Hey, where is Chu Ge?" ”
Yang Zixu waved his hand and said, "I don't know, I should be busy with the general's affairs." A few days ago, the paperwork of the Ministry of War had already come down, and now he is not surprised, he should be in the Ministry of War. ”
Li Fu nodded.
"Huh? The Ye family's little yellow chicken? Yang Zixu suddenly saw a few people in yellow clothes on the martial arts field not far away, and his face changed "brush", and it was difficult to see the extreme.
"What? Do you know? Li Fu hesitated for a moment and said.
"I don't know, but the gambling house that owes me money is the Hidden Sword Pavilion behind it." Yang Zixu shook his head. Said coldly.
"Hidden Sword Ye Family? It shouldn't be, the Ye family is rich and rivals the country, how could they offend the only son of the Divine General's Mansion for two million taels of silver? Li Fu shook his head and said.
"I don't know, but the Ye family has many branches, and that gambling house should be open. If it is a long-term family, it is impossible to ruin his reputation for two million taels. Yang Zixu hesitated, and he was not sure.
"Let's go, we'll do it in the past." Yang Zixu stood up, got a haircut and sideburns, and pulled Li Fu over.
"What are you going to do? Fight? Li Fu looked slightly shocked, looking at Yang Zixu's attitude, I am afraid it is not a good thing.
"Fighting? You think too much, make new friends," Yang Zixu said with a cold and arrogant face.
Making new friends? The devil believes it! The Ye family just owes you money, according to Yang Zixu's temperament, it would be good not to trouble them.
For this sentence, Li Fu didn't believe it in his heart. But he still followed Yang Zixu forward and picked up the broom that was placed next to the door.
"What are you doing?" Yang Zi looked at the broom in Li Fu's hand in confusion, and then said, "I told you, make new friends." What are you doing with a broom? Put it down, if you want to take it, you should take the sword, what is the use of taking the broom! ”
Li Fu: "......."

The martial arts arena of Tiance Academy is very large, much larger than that in ordinary military camps. And the five teenagers of the Ye family are practicing the sword formation on the martial arts arena at the moment. It attracted a burst of applause from the surrounding crowd of onlookers.
"Yo, this sword formation is not bad, but it looks like the big kite on the waterwheel..."
Yang Zixu looked at the five people in the field and said silently.
